Artists slected by: Ruth Claxton, Mathew Shaul
Every two years NN Contemporary Art hosts its Open Exhibition of work by artists from across the world in a wide range of media. The show is selected by a changing panel of judges; this year’s panel was Ruth Claxton (Artist and Associate Director of Eastside Projects) and Matthew Shaul (Artistic Director of UH Galleries and Deputy Director of UH Arts). 112 artists responded to the open call submitting 225 individual works. From this selection, the judges chose 35 artists to feature in the exhibition.
The Open Exhibition launches at NN on 10 December 2015 at 6 pm and visitors will be able to see a wide range of artworks: from a CGI kebab shop window to political text work, from an abstracted daffodil to pencil drawings of Arnold Schwarzenegger moving mountains and much more from Ireland Norway, USA, and the UK.
The Open is a selling show and gives visitors the opportunity to buy the artworks in the exhibition by emerging and leading artists. Visitors will be able to ask the gallery front desk for a price list an NN can arrange delivery of the artwork to homes, offices or as gifts after the close of the exhibition.
